Many have said that we don't know what we are getting when we nominate cards, so I've taken some time to put some stats together from some cards, using Diamond Dope and Veterans 1975 for the park, since it's kind of neutral (10,10,10,10). I asked Bill for his permission/blessing to do this. So I'll be posting some card add ideas, thoughts, etc to hopefully keep interest up and give folks some stuff to actually discuss on the boards.
From time to time, people ask about adding Adolfo Phillips, 1960s Cubs CF. Here are his best two options. Defense makes him maybe unplayable in CF.
What do you think? (Stats from Vets 1975 in Diamond Dope)
1966 Adolfo Phillips, CHC, Bats-R, 5R Balance, CF-3(0)e9, Steal: *3-7/-(19-15)
LH--8.3 2b, 0 3b, 1.5 HR, 12 BB 156/296/298, .594 OPS
RH--9.5 2b, 0 3b, 6.8 HR, 6 BB 293/371/602, .973 OPS
Would be in Post War Cubs set, nice vs RHP
1967 Adolfo Phillips, CHC, Bats-R, 1L Balance, CF-3(+1)e8, Steal: *2-6,11/-(17-13)
LH--2 2b, 5.6 3b, 5.3 HR, 15 BB 294/412/614, 1.026 OPS
RH--5.1 2b, 1 3b, 4.5 HR, 15 BB 278/398/506, .904 OPS
More balanced.....
